Well, I attempted to anyhow.  The get_cycles calls are protected w/
a define that's usually off (and some quick trying couldn't find the
right combo of defines to turn on and have it compile), so I hacked
drivers/char/drm/drm_context.h (this is based on Linus' tree, which is all
I've got right now, sorry) to blindly call get_cycles.  Assuming that
r128_context_switch is the context_switch in drivers/char/drm/drm_context.h,
I had an __archdata section, but it was empty.
